MyEclipse Review - David Orriss Jr

... Review Excerpt

"The underlying mission of the MyEclipse group is simple - take the best of what the Eclipse community is offering for plug-ins, and make them better (or in some cases just make them usable). They also create a lot of features from scratch (project models, capabilities model, Sync-On-Demand deployer for exploded projects, WYSIWYG JSP/JSF/Struts designer, etc). So this isn't a mere agregation of what the Eclipse Plugin community has (as in the case with Lomboz) it's much, much more.

While having all of these features is nice it's meaningless if they don't work well together or enhance your development experience. MyEclipse delivers on this in a big way. It's easy to add MyEclipse-specific features to both existing projects, as well as making new MyEclipse-capable projects.

All things considered, if you're looking for a solid J2EE development platform MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench is probably the best 50 bucks you could ever spend on a single product.
